Israelitish woman, who was also the sou of a Mitzerite man, among the sous of Israel, quarrelled in the camp with the sou of an Israelitish woman and an Israelite mam; and the son of the lsraelitish woman cursed THB NAME, and insulted it. They there- fore brought him to Moses. T he name of his mother, however, was Shelamith, the daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan. So they put him under guard to enquire about him from the EvER·L1v1NG. The Evan-Lxvmo consequently spoke to Moses, commanding; ‘ Take the blasphemer outside the

camp, and let all who heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the Assembly kill him. Then you shall command the children of Israel saying ;———Whatever person curses his GOD shall bear his sin, and the blasphemer of the name of the EVER- L1v1NG shall die. You shall kill him; all the Assembly shall stone him. All of the population who blasphernes the NAME,whether native or foreigner, shall die. ‘And whoever strikes 0E the life of a man, shall die. ‘ And whoever strikes the life of a beast, shall pay life for life. ‘ And a person who inflicts injury

upon his neighbour; as he has done, so you shall do to him. Wound for wound; eye for eye ; tooth for tooth ; whatever injury he has done to a man, the same shall be done to him. ‘ Thus whoever kills a beast hall

compensate for it; but whoever kills a man shall die, ‘ There shall be equal. justice with

you for the foreigier, and the. native; For I am your EvER~Lxv:No Gob! Moses consequently spoke to the

children of Israel, and they brought out the blasphemer from the camp, and killed him with stones. Thus the children of Israel did as the lives-Lrvtwo commanded to Moses.

The Evsa-Lxvmo also spoke to 25 Moses in Mount Sinai command- 1ng;——· ‘Spealc to the children of Israel 2 and say to them ;——-When you arrive in the land that I will give to you, you shall grant the land a rest of rests to the EvER—Ltv1NG. ‘ You shall sow your fields for six

years, and prune your vineyards for six years, and then cease to go to them; and in the seventh year there shall be a Rest of Rests for the land to the EvEn—L1vmo. You shall not sow your fields, nor prune your vine· yards. You shall not reap the self- grown harvest, nor cut off the bunches from your vine. It is a Rest of Rests for the earth. There shall be a rest of the earth to feed it; for you, and for your servant, and for your maid servant, and for your hiredlabourer, and for the foreigners residing with you, and for your cattle and animals that are in your country who shall all be allowed to eat of W32 Eahr uf ily.: §ulrils2. ‘ Also reckon for yourselves seven

Sabbaths of years,—·seven years seven times, and they shall be for you a. period of seven sevens of years, forty~nine years. Then pass a loud sounding trumpet through all the country. It shall be sent out upon the tenth day of the seventh month, on the Day of Expiation, to sanctify the hftieth year, and proclaim liberty in the country to all its inhabitants. It shall be a ]UB1LEE to. you, when every person shall return to his inheritance, and everyone shall be restored to his family. Every iiftieth year shall be a ]UB1LEE for you. You shall neither sow nor reap, nor prune the vines; for it shall be a Holy jubilee for you. Eat from the lleld what springs from it. In this jubilee Year everyone shall return to his inheritance. For what you buy in a sale of your neighbour, or acquire from the hand of your neigh- bour, does not dispossess your brother of it. According to the number of years after a jubilee you must purchase from your neighbour, you must buy it according to the number of years to run for yourself. nu proportion to the number of years IZO I0
